ive tried the link in this months linux format mag for the "tong" game featured in this months hotpicks and the link doesnt seem to work nor does the route address "nognu.org" does anyone know the link to the game at all.

That can mean the site has disappeared or moved in the weeks between the article being written and it reaching you. In this case it probably means something odd is going on with your ISP's proxy server or routing, because it works fine from here.
